    BARKS & BITES: Post-APUPtalyptic RPG Adventure

    – written by Ivan Dellinger (capybaraz.itch.io) – 2/11/21 – 9/22/21

    based on the game Lasers & Feelings by John Harper (onesevendesign.com)


    The apocalypse happened a while ago, but as a dog this means very little to you. There are humans
    struggling to rebuild some semblance of a society amid the ruins of their old civilization, but to you
    everything is hunky-dory as long as you can get your teeth on some kibble, get some belly rubs or find a
    bit of animal feces to roll in. However, there will be a problem. It is up to you and the other members of
    your pack to put your dog brains together and solve it.
    In order to do this you must:
    1: Pick a number between 2 and 5. This is the number that will determine how good you are at barking
    (mental situations, problem solving, deduction, etc.) and biting (physical situations, brute force,
    athleticism, etc.). A high number means you’re better at barking, a low number means you’re better at
    biting. Roll 1d6 to perform difficult actions, add 1d6 if you are prepared or an expert in the action you
    are taking to a maximum of 3d6. This is how many chances you have to roll successfully.
    If you roll your number exactly, this is an automatic success. It is recommended but not mandatory
    that you exclaim, “Doggone!” when this happens. Your GM may also choose to give you a special
    insight into the situation.
    BARKING: ROLL LOWER THAN YOUR NUMBER --- BITING: ROLL HIGHER THAN YOUR NUMBER
    2: Describe your dog however you want by using the table below, or come up with your own
    descriptors with GM approval.

    SIZE DISPOSITION CLEANLINESS MOTIVATION


    Big Vicious Dirty Obsessive
    Medium Timid Ragged Distracted
    Small Driven Groomed Obedient
    Teacup Lazy Pampered Mischievous

    3. Name your dog. This can be what the dog thinks of them self as or what humans call them.
    4. Determine your health. If your number is 2, your health is 5. If your number is 3, your health is 4. If
    your number is 4, health is 3. If your number is 5, your health is 2. This is how many times you can get hit
    before you die. All dogs go to Apocalypse Heaven.
    GM: Roll on the following tables to create a scenario and environment for your Pack to deal with, or
    make up your own.

    Population Environment Technology


    Dense (humans plentiful) City (resources plentiful) Low (petroleum and gunpowder)
    Sparse (humans scarce) Wilderness (resources scarce) High (fusion and lasers)
    A Threat Wants to So The Pack Must
    The Dog Catcher Kidnap Dogs Free a Friend
    The Chaos Engine Eat Dogs Destroy an Enemy
    Cats Enslave the Dogs Escape Captivity
    Large Mutant Rats Destroy a Rare Cache of Kibble Defend Their Home
    Psychic Cats Invade the Pack’s Territory Get Belly Rubs
    Capitalists Neuter The Pack Sleep, Eat, Survive
